You've probably heard claims about how many calories you can burn jumping rope. Yes, you do burn some, although there is a huge controversy over how many. Don't get hung up with that, there are other more important benefits to jumping rope. One of these benefits is in cardiovascular fitness. Making the heart stronger. But it also improves strength, endurance and agility. One of the things that comes to mind whenever anyone mentions jumping rope to me is boxers. They jump rope for the above benefits. Martial artists also jump rope for these reasons.
A good way to start jumping rope is to fit it in between your other exercise routines. If you are lifting weights, do 1 minute of jumping rope before you go on to the next exercise.
